Question Best Body Shop in NoVA

Hello,
Some idiot kid ran into the back of my 2004 Acura TSX when I was sitting at a stop light. Pretty upset that my pristine car is now going to need an entirely new bumper. From past experience, I hate how the paint just doesn't match perfectly or dust and dirt show up in the paint or clear coat. So since I don't have to pay a cent for the repair, I would like to know who would the best auto body shop in the Northern VA area is. I don't care what the cost is as long as the car is restored as close to factory perfect as possible. Thanks, I appreciate any help.

I found this list on the web, published in 2001 but I still think it gives me a starting place.

The place they have highlighted (wagonwork) sounds like a pretty good place.

Anyone had any experience with Auto Body of Vienna? This place is really close to where I live.

Right now seriously considering Wagonwork Collision, they offer a lifetime warranty on the work.

Thanks for all of the recommendations, all of your help is very appreciated. My Dad recently had work done by Winning Team Auto Body in Fairfax, Va and they did an awesome job repainting his hood and matching the paint. I also went out today about bought the latest Washington Consumer's Checkbook and they rate all the Auto Body Shops in the Area for 2006. Both Winning Team and Wagonwork were highly rated by this publication. When I have time I will post all of the top recommended body shops they have listed for everyone.

D & V where rated highly by Consumers' Checkbook.
Even though they only had 16 customer ratings.

Doing the Work Properly 100%
Starting and Completing Work Properly 94%
Letting you know cost early 100%
Overall Performance 94%
% of customer rating firm "adequate" or "superior" for "overal performance" 100%
Number of complaints at local gov't consumer offices 0

Top Rating for Quality by Consumers' Checkbook.

I seriously considering these guys to paint the bumper since you have heard of them. Not sure who the Emotion guys are? Do they mod cars or something?
